Question - How do you flightplan extended spousal cross-country flights?
Software suggests my RSTOL T337D
could get us DCA to DEN in ~7-10 hours, depending on winds.
It is about 7 hours door-to-door commercial.
Stressful, but "You leave the driving to them."
My wife's eyes start rolling at ~4 hours in the 337.
My main unknown is, "How many back-to-back legs would she tolerate, before destroying 30+ years of marriage?"
==========
OPTION #1 - GRIND X COUNTRY ALL IN ONE DAY?
In spring / summer we could leave early and get to DEN before nightfall.
Refreshed or exhausted?
OPTION #2 - BREAK INTO TWO DAYS?
Maybe plan two 3-4 hour legs the first day.
No specific destinations in mind, just go until tired,
Let Amex Platinum solve the logistics.
A fancy dinner and a good night's sleep in a swanky hotel,
then finish the next morning?
OPTION #3 - TRY IT SOLO FIRST?
Buy her an airline ticket and see who gets there less stressed?
If I get tired, or decide to turn around, less egg on face.
